Birds Carrying Twigs (a Tanka)




Birds Carrying Twigs (a Tanka)




With twigs in his beak

Early nest building begins

As westerly winds

Enduringly, push his wings

Toward his endearing home

G'day, and welcome to my blog site. My name is Ivor Steven, I live in Geelong, Australia. I'm an ex-industrial chemist, and a retired plumber, and a former Carer of my wife(Carole), for 30 years, who suffered from severe MS. I Write poetry about those personal thoughts, throughout and beyond my life as a Carer. I've been blogging for over 2 years, and writing poems for 19 years. Of course a lot of my poems are about my favourite subject Carole, but since I've been blogging my writings have become quite varied, humourous, mystical, observational, and even a few monster/horror poems.

    I wish that birdie the very bestest as he builds a home! “There is no place like home.” 🙂

    1. Thank you Carolyn … I’m always trying to capture photos of birds in flight …with no great success … yesterday when I enhanced and enlarged my lucky photo, surprise surprise, the birdie was carrying “twigs” and wow what joy I had to write about witnessing such a natural delight 🦅🤗🌏💕🐶 … Frankie is being extra sweet and cuddly during winter 🐶💕🤗
